What information on the periodic table is used to complete electron dot diagrams?

The number before the A at the top of a column shows how many dots to draw in the diagram.

The number before the B at the top of a column shows how many dots to draw in the diagram.

The number at the left of each row shows the number of valence electrons that are in atoms of elements in that row.

The number at the left of each row shows how many dots to draw above the symbol for elements in that row.

Hee Sun drew an electron dot diagram of a silicon atom as shown.

The dot to the left of the symbol would be removed in the diagram for carbon.

The same number of dots would appear in the diagram for carbon.

There would be two dots above and to the right of the symbol in the diagram for carbon.

The single dots would be replaced with two dots on each side of the symbol in the diagram for carbon.
